An Englishman: Good Evening: This is a puzzler--anyone notice that the "misplaced" Knight on e8 was the cornerstone of Black's defense *and* counterattack? It's extraordinary what Neumann does with this Knight. Perhaps Anderssen should have chopped off this Knight instead of the other?

A funny scene. The knights end up on their original squares after a forced sequence. White will pick up the h pawn, and black still must find a way to develop.
